Can anyone in the USA help this correspondent, or can anyone elsewhere suggest someone who can? I cannot help as I live in England. I can forward Luminescence and C14 reports if you reply with an email address. Jeremy Hodgkinson -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Ancient iron furnace Date: Thu, 18 Oct 2018 09:01:18 -0400 From: Adam Arkfeld <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Hello Jeremy, The remnants of an iron furnace and associated slags have been discovered on an archaeological site located in the Northern Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. A section of furnace wall material was dated at the University of Washington. Testing produced a date of 150 AD. C14 tests and artifacts found in association support this early date. Test results attached. I cannot find a metallurgy expert to investigate this remarkable discovery. I am hopeful that you may know an expert who would be motivated. Please contact me.
